christmas leave me reports from clark county in nevada, where he shelters on any full for those with no place to call home, it's hard to escape the blistering heat. people like sean crow, who lost his job and his apartment 6 weeks ago, make their way to cooling centers, to grab some water and relief getting hotter. it's getting a lot harder. so this is day room over here is really resourceful. i take advantage of it. their, their resources and try to get myself put together and get going in a direction. so that's a so what i've been doing for the past month and a half or so because it gets really hard, it's hard to kind of get up on your feet, especially you don't have a car after 3 days of temperatures exceeded 43 degrees, the number of people seeking help is on the rise as our calls to emergency responders for heat stroke. our shelter is very close to full about 99 percent capacity. but we operate with about a 100 beds in, in a reserve that we,
8:03 am
that we can, you know, a bed mass that we could put on the floor for emergencies and stuff like that. so we started doing that. we're not a complete capacity yet, but, but we're over 500, which is our normal capacity for our, for the door, temperatures, toppings 43, even 47 degrees are not on heard of here in nevada. is extremely unusual and extremely dangerous for those who don't have a home is the duration. it's a trend scene around the country. phoenix, arizona surpassed 43 degrees for 19 days in a row, beating a 49. your record here in texas or 9 prison inmates have died from excessive heat this year, families to be incarcerated, gathered at the state house to beg for air condition facilities. now we don't have my time cleaning anymore. that's the, that's the problem. you know, you know, prolongs heat wave. it doesn't go down at night anymore. no, we don't go below 34 degrees. celsius forecasters the little
8:04 am
relief in sight with these high temperatures expected to continue at least another week. kristin salumi alger 0, clark county, nevada, to well, he weighs in the northern hemisphere of again highlights. it'd be just need to come by climate crisis, top officials from the wells to biggest pollutants on discussing. just stop in beijing, us con envoy. john kerry is not on his 4th and final day in the twenty's capsule. he's met with senior officials including including the premier li chung. i'm talk to mike when he, he's cold from little cooperation in the lead up to the global climate conference comp 28. which takes place later this year in due by let's go to katrina use line for us in beijing katrina. and so kerry's visit to beijing. the timing can be more patch and then given the heat wave, the country is experiencing fust main focus through if anything concrete has been achieved in these full days of tools. well,
8:05 am
john kerry has said that his visit here to china has been extremely constructive. but we haven't heard of any concrete agreements made between the 2 slides, except that they will continue to work together on this issue. now when john kerry met with china is vice president and jones on wednesday morning. and during that music, he said that universal stress of climate change was to force him to be impacted by local politics. so that should, it should be treated as its own standalone issues. he also met earlier this week, chinese premier lee chung and talked to one e as well as the chinese counts of pot shit, gen plot. and during those talks he did acknowledge the that this is a very complicated relationship. that's us trying to try the roles are riddled with disagreements including ty, one, but he believes that they should not impact their ability to pull price in slicing climate change. now he's the,
8:06 am
he's part. he said that the goals that this visit really wants to reconnect the climate told between the aging and motion was suspended last august when, when the house began to close, the visited tie ones that they've just been restarted. he said that this was a chance of aging washington to really have a fresh of the overall relationship in these hopes that these folks are just the beginning of. and you mentioned by the us in china, in the tulips and the dialogue ahead of the 28th of summit in july later this year as somebody said is going to be the most important climate conference in paris. and katrina, tell us a bit more about the heat wave you are experiencing there in china. well, this is the most severe heat wave that china is experienced in recent history. we used to be very, very rad that places like aging, we kept the temperature of over 40 degrees, but now it's become quite common place. and especially the regions such as the north, west, and syndrome proteins. animal via they've been really,
8:07 am
was affected by these extreme temperatures. weekends and john kids are record 52.2 degrees celsius and now for the next 10 days, authorities say that these high temperatures will receive temperatures of at least 32 degrees and temperatures. in the early forty's continue, and this is raise concerns about agriculture production as well as the health of lysol kids. so it is really hopes that don't carry physical produce something more concrete. and certainly, chinese presidents, agent taking, has said that this is an issue of the most importantly how this board meeting with high level chinese companies officials. he said that slicing climate change in pricing pollution is a privacy for china. it's still committed to becoming called the new to white, 2060. but it's pop towards that direction. it's policies will not be dictated by a foreign policy. so certainly an indirect reference that john kerry, china says that it does want to continue to work on this. but it's also a hit back,
8:08 am
any criticisms that it's not doing enough. thank you for that. katrina, you the 1st in beijing and now in a bizarre incidents, a us soldier is now in custody. north korea, off and legally crossing from south korea in the past few hours beyond young has 52 suspected ballistic missiles into the sea. japan says that faith project charles landed in waters outside it's exclusive economic zone. popsicle hang wraps up the latest developments. it's already been a tough few weeks in the relations between the us and north korea. for the 1st time since the eighty's, a us nuclear armed ballistic missiles submarine docked at a south korean port. and north korea launched 2 more missiles into the sea. and now a surprised defection army private 2nd class travis king in the army for just over 2 years. and without combat experience is believe to
8:09 am
a voltage across the border separating the 2 countries and was taking it to north korean custody. it's believed he was just released from a south korean prison uninstall charges brought to the airport to be sent home to potentially face additional charges and likely be kicked out of the army. it seems he was a score to to customs and then got away with a tour group headed to the border again, were culturally monitoring and investigating the situation and working to notify the soldiers next of kin and engaging to address the sense of it. it's in terms of my concerns i'm, i'm absolutely for most concerned about the welfare of our true north korean experts, believe the soldier will be tortured. it is very likely that he will be subjected to harsh treatment, especially since he's a member of the us armed forces. so that the likelihood that he will be tortured, he will face psychological pressure. he will face
8:10 am
a physical torture of the likelihood of that happening is very high. now the focus on how to get them back, they can use this as a bargaining chip and say, well, you know, if you want him back, you're gonna have to take more troops out of south korea or get rid of this nuclear, you know, consultative group, something like that because obviously they have the upper hand, we care about our men and women who served in the past due as administrator and to have refused to take those steps for fear it will encourage more americans being arrested, but they have done prisoners swaps scenarios. luckily, being considered in washington as they wait and wonder what is happening to their soldier who tried to get away. patty calling al jazeera washington. okay, let's bring you some breaking news that's coming out of thailand. the constitutional court has ordered a temporary suspension of
8:11 am
a leading prime ministerial candidate. as an empty pizza lived to run rods had won the most number of seats inmates general elections. we can go to florence lu, here is out the parliament in fine, colquitt and peace. amazing for a 2nd vote on his premier ship. this breaking news just coming to us in the last 10 minutes or so. florence took us through what exactly this temporary suspension cause me well, the constitutional court suspension of that let me try or not as a member of parliament doesn't affect his normal ation. as 5 minutes, several kind of a just needs is temporarily suspended. and this is in relation to a complaint that the constitutional court has accepted, that he may have broken highland election laws by holding shares in a media company. non pizza says that the company hasn't been operating broadcasting used for at least 10 years. and that he was nearly an executive of the families and has a chair done separately in parliament, the members of parliament,
8:12 am
legislative representative and send it says are expected to vote for a 2nd time on pizza as prime minister. but before that, there is a debate happening in parliament on whether he can be re norman aged as a prime minister candidate. and that's because there is a parliamentary regulation that says that a motion that has already been tables in parliament cannot be introduced within the same session. and that was already a 1st vote for peter as prime minister that took place last week. now is say, if he is nominated, the votes will take place, but if he doesn't get enough both, then his policy will allow a 2nd party that is, has high but the 2nd largest number of votes. and may, is general election to nominate a candidate. now that vote will likely happen on thursday. i'm florence, give us a little bit me background to pizza named jerome rods because he, he, his, when was a little bit of a surprise, wasn't maybe they weren't expecting that his policy would do so. well.
8:13 am
that's right now progress move towards party. really. it the, it's one of the elections on a very, you know, on, on, on the promise of bringing reforms that wanted spring sweeping reforms to not just the political system, but also the military and also the economy and wanted to dismantle monopolies that control for a many of highlands, most profitable industry and p tell in german ride is a business man and his party new ford is seen as agreed to set that hockey future forward. also another very progressive party. now there are a few scenarios that could play out. you tell them during about could win the election. he could be elected assignments to although that is very unlikely. now the likely the more likely scenario is that another name will be nominated. this will be a name from ty policy, the 2nd largest party in parliament. however, having said that site's hot tables will face the same obstacles as move forward. and that is because the conservative establishment really don't want to see move
8:14 am
forward as part of government because of what it stands for. and that is sweeping reforms. they want to protect the states as quotes, so many adults have said that i could take a multi not take option and baptist move forward from any possible alliance moving forward. now if that was to happen, we expect to see backslash in the form of street protests. now, he talk could also be banned from politics by the constitutional court. that could be sometime in the future, but that is what happened to move forward. for this test as talk to you lead a ton um and that so widespread street protests in 2027. is that what happened? we could possibly see the military getting more involved again in the form of perhaps cracking down one protest as possibly even declaring marshall. and that could mean for long instability. for thailand. ok, thank you for that source. they read that for us in calling them for. so the
8:15 am
a sense of the conflict in c dawn which is now in its 4th month and the 17 cease fires have broken and all of them have failed. and the blood shed fighting between the army and the power military group. the rock that support forces has escalated and now new assets are being made in saudi arabia to reach another c spy, representatives from the warring sides or in jetta to potentially resume in direct talks. least 3000 people have been killed so far and the conflict and 3000000 have been forced from that homes. in the past week alone. any 200000 people have been displaced within suit on the you and says nearly 300000 have fled to neighboring charge and i was struggling to cope the with the influx. i'll do there a spoke to the u. n. deputies actually general. i mean, and mohammed who was in charge, she's cool for an international support to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. so there are 2 very big messages, say one,
8:16 am
the international community needs to do more to help the people of chat with the generosity in the c monitor in crisis. that's the 1st message because we need to save lives, especially children and the women. the 2nd message, of course, is to the leaders who are in the war and so them, so that, that needs to stop because the consequences of that what we're seeing all around us and these people do not deserve that. of the efforts of the be made at the for communion with god with the un is really to try to get us the file to get a humanitarian cordele and tickets dialogue so that we can have peace. we release of the security situation once they come in to chat is being addressed. it is a security situation when they are fleeting firms to them. and the number of check points, the number of violence cases against women. this is what we have to plead with the authorities and so done that this needs to stop everybody. everybody in a call 6 must be held to accounts. this cannot be allowed to go unattended to the
8:17 am
must be accountability. but you know, while we are taking stock of those atrocities, we must end, we must end the war. we must take care of those who are fleeing and all of those things to be done at the same time. 2 syrian soldiers have been injured in is riley massaging the tanks, according to syrian state television luxury positions near the airport, outside the capitol, damascus whitehead massages where reports and the launch from the occupied golden heights. somewhat intercepted by a series of defense system rights group, say the attack on syria is as well as 20th this year. still, head on out of there was a stream heat due to our bodies and what to be doing to protect ourselves from dangerous conditions will be speaking to an expert on the un security council holds as fast as a missing on the dangerous, as far as the
8:18 am
how are we have a little hot weather across the middle east? no, great surprise is badly. a cloud in the sky one or 2 shells over towards the black sea. the cost be as a tried to break the heat, but not really making any significant progress tab. it isn't up to 40 celsius, but the mask is sent to the fault, is the fact that at also for q right here and died hot around $47.00 celsius personally to thursday, very much the case of spot, the difference. so more of a chevy, right. and there's some web to weather that just pushing into eastern parts of off kind of stuff. this done little deposit pockets dancing some rather heavy right over the next few days. but otherwise, hausten dry sums it up hot and dry sounded up across northern africa at present 43 celsius into this on wednesday afternoon. that's a full monday. we got to 48 degrees celsius. so i'm 5 degrees on mondays value. i'm
8:19 am
with looking to touch 40 celsius, here was a go on is through with the state tripoli, warming up at that stage, very hot and dry cause northern past plenty a shout was there across central africa. perhaps not as widespread as they should be. for the time, if you run across into the tropic, southern africa, it is generally drive you have got some shabby right, making his way into the western cape, sweeping through the eastern type, saying some showers. i'm not what to wear the pushing into mozambique of the off to a lifetime within the walls of a new rainy into a bengal tiger horizon. a suddenly white when she lands and i'm likely will in a speech of them. but how long can have been just sweet freedom last when crisis strikes, this is the witness my
8:20 am
a tiger's tail on a tuesday around the the open back you watching out. just bear in mind us on top stories. and so the constitutional course in thailand has ordered a temporary suspension of a meeting prime ministerial candidate as an empty pizza lived around rights. one of the most number of seats in may's general elections does not affect his prime ministerial bed, which will be based on 2nd time in the next few. us soldier is in custody in north korea off. indeed, lake crossing the border from south cram soldier identified as travis king,
8:21 am
is taking part in this tool in the theme and a try. so in a separate the 2 careers when he calls us city of phoenix has broken a record set many calls a century ago. as 19 consecutive days in temperatures and thoughtful to 3 degrees celsius. tonight is close to assessing a new record as the whole system of a recording. hundreds as long as large as in greece are trying to stop a fast moving walls, fine north west of the capital athens. the place in the mando region has destroyed homes and vehicles moving 300 people have been evacuated. the fall, i began on monday on his swept through surrounding forests. us as well as blockade on calls that has made a heat wave that especially difficult for palestinians to into temperatures have hit $38.00 degrees celsius and people experiencing pow codes of up to 12 hours a day old. and 2300000 people live in the palestinian enclave. 16 years of
8:22 am
israel's land air and sea blockade has the very damage the economy as well as the infrastructure. okay, we can speak now that only j he's the dark. the heat health was set into base at the university of sydney joins us from the thank you so much for your time so. so what happens to the buddy during extreme heat? well, there's 3 main ways in which extreme tv impacts the human body to keep from the perspective of the 6 things that would ultimately it makes l o leech desk. busy if this one is the pretty obvious one, which is each stroke where we have critical rides using coal body temperature for about a she gets stored inside the body. and at the same time, we diverting blood away from the body call to the skin. and this leads to our gods starting to become quite leaky. and then endo toxins leak out of the god. and then it stops entering the circulation, and that can be very bad, lead to widespread clotting and ultimately deaf the 2 other ways in which extreme
8:23 am
heat impacts human health. at least of mortality, mobility. i'll be on quite a while understood or quite well as well. appreciate it. i are actually responsible for the majority of people like the depths and hospitalizations. the 1st one is called about skilled collapse. so again, the way in which the body responds to the heat is that we direct blood away from the body co towards the skin surface. and then basically increases the amount of work that the heart has to do to maintain central blood pressure. and if we have an underlying instruments, he got caught of escalating sanity or problem with the hot tears, coronary artery disease or somewhere else, know how to get a little harder unexcused issue with the hot but can lead to a catastrophic event. and finally, renal collapse is also a very which particular good people to have kidney disease. so the other way in which we try to defend body temperature is by switching. i just need an operation of us with a cold us down. now, if we don't replenish fluids lose, we can sweat bump to $1.00 to $1.00 of the hot liters of sweat per hour. and if we
8:24 am
don't replenish those fluids, we'll progressively become dehydrated. that wish and the risk of the stroke and caught a passcode collapse. it also puts a lot of strain on a kidneys that can become very problematic as well. right? so what you're describing in relation to the house and the kidneys, that's presumably why it's older people who tend to be the most vulnerable to extreme 8 as well. were you seeing the, do you mean logical? which shows that certainly people over the age of 75 are particularly vulnerable to extreme hate. one of the main reasons for that is that as we progressed, i'd be only just $65.00. we have age related reductions in the ability to switch. now that he stress risk is exacerbated further if we have, if we have a primary aging, but the current alongside the presence of the chronic diseases. and so the respect to the highest which stopped is for people like you mortality mobility or aging. i called about square disease and or renal disease. so things whether that combining
8:25 am
to create a bit of opposing mixing them centrally, a bit of a dudley stone. so what can be done about this? i mean, a given temperature is all going to keep going up. people need to be prepared other than staying hydrated, which is presumably the most obvious thing you can do. well, how can people prepare themselves as well? i think it's really important for us to understand that staying hydrated it does help. of course it does, but it's not a silver bullet, so there's lots of different ways in which we can reduce the, the, the huge stretch of the human bodies exposed to. so one of the things just going back to the vulnerability, it's not just as logical vulnerability that we need to think about as also um, reduction, certainly behavioral adaptive capacity. so this is what people are living in low resource settings. they don't have access to air conditioning, they might live in housing dot poorly when exposed to extreme heat. so they heat up very quickly, which means that exposure is much higher. there's not a great deal they could do about it. so we need to find low resource ways in
8:26 am
helping people navigate their way to self which safely through extreme heat exposure. so we've been doing a lot of work at the university of sydney alongside part is internationally trying to identify systematically the, the evidence based ways in which people can reduce the fees of logical strain that develops when exposed extreme hate. so for example, applying voltage to the skin surface, we should be treating that was, but also if you apply, wanted that the skin surfaced by what's it got closed or simply using a sponge or a spray on that whole bunch of outputs of tables, which is the number one way in which we keep cool. this is what we sweat. so we can do that. that's very helpful in reducing the strain that the some bodies exposure, right? really very interesting story on each a directive piece in health research in cubase at the university of sydney. thank you for your time. the you on security council is held as fast as a meeting on the potential threats of august, the official intelligence, the global peace. it comes off to you in chief antonio gutierrez, along side
8:27 am
a i. x bets wound, artificial intelligence could be an ex, essential threat to humanity, especially if used as a weapon in nuclear. it will fact term space spoke with james cleverly the following 2nd street, united kingdom. on this 1st day of a security council meeting on artificial intelligence was addressed by the secretary general of the united nations who said the development of a i had been unprecedented. he compared it to the introduction of the printing press, reset it and taking nearly 50 years for books to be distributed across europe. and yet chat g p t had a 100000000 uses. in just 2 months. the meeting was presided over by the u. k. and w, i spoke to the u. k. 4 and secretary as well as the we, we already have structures, we have legal structures. we have the international human rights little and that's doing a pretty good job. but of course, what we need to do is we need to make sure that the staff is always much fit the
8:28 am
disease always alive to the emerging challenges. i think you can do that. so nice thing that working internationally will give us the opportunity to do that. but we do need to move quickly, we need to make decisions in for like the son of the multi lot true institutions. but i would, i would suggest that it would be an appropriate for us to focus on just that sold overly focused on that vast caesar risk, of course it is, but we've also seen how damaging this information can be. how damaging widespread fold hacking. so it's not just in the weapon systems, although those all attention grabbing issues, but also in these, in these other areas as well because these weapon systems already exist. there's an israeli company, l bit which has offices to in the u. k, which has been integrating. i and which projects products somebody leach and x is
8:29 am
an automated network combat solution based on robotic platforms. and this is the same companies, but as drones were being used in the west bank in jeanine, this is where the appropriate, well, i don't know the details of that particular products or project. but the point is that vax is something of course we will look at. but we have to make sure that we look at the full range of opportunities and risks and challenges. there is a thing that we focus exclusively on the headline grabbing risks. important that they all but then miss other areas where we could be exposed. so it'd be important discipline is to make sure that we look right across the face at all the potential applications i. so how do you go about regulating a folding tree agreement, codes of conduct, or do you have a binding, international trade take? well, the trees these vista each, the most appropriate way of regulating,
8:30 am
we don't know, none of us do, but form follows function. so once we have have this international conversation, which we are playing alcohol to in the u. k here today, and that's all i safety summit as we have that conversation with industry, with governments, with technologists. we will be able to see the most effective way an effective is going to be what we focus on. but the most effective way at the moment, we can't possibly know because we need to understand more about the current state of the technology. and the way the technology is going to vote for the worry is, this is moving so, so fast and as you know, global governance, just look at climate change moves so slowly. well, i think there's a really incentive to move fast in terms of these conversations and this governance as well because you're absolutely right. the evolution of this technology because it is the.
